Honeywell is looking for a Advanced Software Engineer to help build and evolve enterprise-scale platform services supporting Honeywell Forge and the Cognition platform.
This role is suited for a strong hands-on software engineer with 5+ years of experience developing modern applications, APIs, backend services, and distributed systems. The engineer will contribute across user experiences, APIs, microservices, data and messaging infrastructure and containerized deployments.
You will work closely with technical leads, architects, SRE, cybersecurity, QA, product, and other engineering teams to translate product and architecture requirements into secure, scalable, maintainable, and production-ready software. The ideal candidate is comfortable owning features and services from design and implementation through automated testing, deployment, integration, troubleshooting, and production readiness.
You will report directly to our Sr Software Engineering Manager and you’ll work out of our Atlanta, GA location on a hybrid work schedule.

• Translate technical designs and requirements into high-quality working software.
• Participate constructively in architecture and design discussions.
• Provide thoughtful code reviews and help maintain engineering standards.
• Collaborate effectively with technical leads, architects, Product Owners, SRE, cybersecurity, QA, and application teams.
• Identify technical risks, dependencies, maintainability concerns, and integration issues early.
• Diagnose technical issues spanning applications, services, messaging, databases, Kubernetes, and infrastructure.
• Contribute to technical investigations and proof-of-concepts for new technologies or platform capabilities.
